Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "First State NHP Interpretation and Park Operations Interns" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 16 NERO 0061). This notice is informational rather than competitive: it is explicitly not a request for applications. In practice, that means the NPS is announcing that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive process, rather than soliciting proposals from the public.

The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordination, guidance, or collaboration during implementation), rather than simply issuing a grant with limited federal participation. The funding is categorized under a discretionary opportunity and listed under the activity category "Other," with the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.931. While eligibility is shown as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere, the key takeaway is that this posting is not inviting new applicants and is instead serving as public notice of the agency's intent to move forward with a particular recipient or arrangement.

Financially, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $28,051 and anticipates making one award. The notice was created and posted on May 27, 2016, with a listed closing date of June 6, 2016. That closing date functions more as an administrative deadline tied to the posting rather than an application deadline, since the notice is not open for competition.

The subject of the project, based on the title, centers on supporting interpretation and park operations at First State National Historical Park (First State NHP), likely by funding intern positions or an internship program connected to visitor services, public education, or operational support. However, the public summary provided in the listing does not include detailed scope, work plans, deliverables, or partner information. The notice directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov for the complete details of the intended award, which is where specifics such as the intended recipient, period of performance, project tasks, and justification for awarding without full and open competition would typically be documented.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a transparency posting: it signals that the NPS intends to fund a defined internship-related effort at First State NHP via a single cooperative agreement up to $28,051, without soliciting or accepting proposals from other organizations.
